Gary King was once an invincible, radiant boy. I mean, when he was seventeen. On graduation day, he and four of his best friends made a decision to complete a "beer marathon"; Gary took it as a rite of passage, and they didn't make it to the last family. Perhaps because of that, he's lost, addicted to alcohol, past glories, and reluctant to wake up. Ten years, maybe twenty years later, in order to fulfill his original wish, he and his friends returned to their hometown to complete the unfinished bar marathon of 12 pubs and a cup of draft beer per person, but unexpectedly found a Humans have been replaced by the so-called higher civilizations of the Galactic Network in the name of fusion and enhancement to stimulate potential. Gary didn't worry at all, stubbornly wanted to complete the feat of the year, so he killed two friends, saved the world by accident, and finally found his own direction.
At first I thought it was just a simple nostalgic story. A man who can only immerse himself in memories, a few friends whom he has not seen for many years, an unfinished feat. Returning to the original place after many years, no one cares whether it is completed except the male protagonist who has not grown up. Maybe they will chat about the past, memories, and finally the male protagonist will be inspired to find his own direction. If the plot is like this, although it is inevitably monotonous, it is also a good story. But the director didn't want to shoot like this. From the moment of meeting the blue-blooded people, the development of the plot has been unexpected, and the final ending is even more refreshing. The children who did not want to grow up, after paying the price, still did not give up the final idea, and finally found their own direction.
